Speciiication formingpart of Letters Patent No. 115,628, dated J une 6, 1871.

To all whom it 'may conce-rn:

Beit known that I, MAX MILLER, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Toy- Vihistle; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make andv use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.

Figure l represents a longitudinal section of my improved toy-whistle, the line m x, Fig. 2, indicating the plane of section. Fig. 2 is a top View, partly in section, of the same, taken on the plane of the line y` y, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.l

This invention relates to a new toy-whistle, which is to be used for imitating the two or more different sounds of certain birds-as, for example, those oi the cuckoo. My invention consists in a new way of constructing a whistle by which the cuckoo call may be imitated, as hereinafter fully described and clearly pointed out in the claim. v A in the drawing represents a tube, made of metal or other suitable material, open at both. ends, but somewhat contracted or dat. tened at the lower end. The upper end of the tube constitutes the mouth-piece of the whistle, while its lower part is, by solder or other means, fastened upon a box or case, B, of metal or other material, directly over an aperture, a,

in the saine, so that the air blown through the tube will strike the edge b of said aperture a, and thereby be vibrated to produce a sound. The box B has one or more other apertures, c, in top 0r sides, ,whereby the nature ofthe sound is changed. By closing one or all such apering the apertures c for changing the sound in a vessel or case into which the air-tube enters, is quite new. y

Having thus described myinvention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The tubular stern A, open at both ends, but

flattened at the lower end, combined with case B having apertures a c, the whole adapted to be operated as and for the purpose specified.

MAX MILLER.
